Hi Tim,
The Hotel was called the Hythe Hotel in the early days, I remember we had to roll back the massive carpet every club night and roll it back again at the end of the evening. But the name Don Stewart comes to me as the manager as does Stewart Lodge Hotel., and then Westcliffe Hall Hotel. I still think they were all the same building. I the latter years of the club, before it's move to Totton, we had all the downstairs rooms for the sole use of the club. Our own entry door round the back, a seperate Bar, Tune up/Geen room, toilets of course, and even a small kitchen. The club room was L shaped but big enough to squeeze over 200 on many occasions. Guest Terry: The Black Seagull rimngs bells although it was before my time. Careful chaps....this is the kind of thread that blows away a lot of cobwebs and starts books being written. I saw a copy of Frost Lane sell on Ebay for over £70 a few months ago.
